The LSU Men's Basketball team was invited to the NIT as a No. 4 seed and will face North Texas (18-14) in the first round on Tuesday night at the PMAC. Tipoff is set for 6 pm on the SEC Network. Per LSUSports.net:

That tournament will begin in Baton Rouge at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Tuesday night against North Texas (18-14), a team LSU defeated, 66-62, in the Charleston Classic in November.

The game will be televised on the SEC Network with a 6 p.m. tip time.

Tickets for the game will all be general admission at $20 a ticket for adults and $10 a ticket for youth and are available beginning Monday morning at 9 a.m. in person at the LSU Athletics Ticket Office and online at LSUTix.net. The first 1,500 LSU students will be admitted free to the game.

There will be no reserved parking for the game. Parking will be available in the various lots around the Maravich Center.

LSU finished the season at 17-15 and 9-9 in the Southeastern Conference. LSU’s +7 in wins in the SEC from 2023 to 2024 is tied for second in improvement among all teams in the Power 6 conferences behind only South Carolina from the SEC.

“We are excited about the opportunity to continue our season in the NIT this week,” said LSU Basketball Head Coach Matt McMahon. “Our players and coaches are looking forward to playing in front of our fans in the PMAC on Tuesday. We have great respect for North Texas and look forward to preparing for our first-round game. We invite all of our LSU fans, students, former players, and community to join us on Tuesday night in creating a home court advantage in Baton Rouge.” Read more.

I’ll never understand why they hold a tournament to determine the 73rd best team in the country.

Nice exclamation point on a solid rebound season compared to where the program was one year ago. As a 30 year season ticket holder I am happy for Coach McMahon and team.
